YMMV / Body Harvest

Go To

  • Awesome Music: While it is appropriately dark and creepy, the soundtrack composed by Stuart Ross and Allan Walker is pretty atmospheric and amazing.
  • Demonic Spiders: The mutant in levels 1-3. It constantly tries to jump on you, causing an instant kill if it succeeds, or at least destroying any vehicle you're using. This is used as incentive to prevent harvesters from eating too many humans so that the mutant never appears. In contrast, the level 4 mutant has a better weapon, but is less of a threat because it hovers instead of jumping.
    • The stationary Alien Gunners in Java are no slouch either.
  • Fridge Logic: The aliens cloned The Man In Black from a drop of Adam Drake's blood, which they are shown to acquire in the opening video, set in 2016. The Man In Black then leads the aliens' ground forces in past eras. The aliens are never shown to possess the same time travel abilities that the humans do, so how did The Man In Black even exist before the aliens found the blood?
    • Reverse genetic memory?
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Hearing the blood-curdling screams of the humans when they get killed (either by the bugs or your own negligence). And if they get eaten by the harvesters, you hear a disturbing crunching sound to go with those screams.
    • Get scooped up by one of the people snatching green blobs during a harvester wave and you lose all control of Adam. Watch as he's brought towards the jaws of the harvester, and consumed alive. However, you can still shoot the harvester bug you're being fed to. And since the harvester controls the green blobs, Adam will be freed when you kill it.
    • This terrifying promo render of an alien bug that was used for the back cover of the instruction manual in the North American version.
  • Vindicated by History: While now regarded as one of the studio's forgotten Nintendo 64 gems alongside Space Station Silicon Valley, it was met with mixed reviews upon release, in addition to being overshadowed by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the aforementioned Space Station Silicon Valley.
